If you ever used phosguard from seachem or similar aluminum oxide media to control phosphates, that could have been the aluminum leaching culprit. Seachem claims their product does not leach aluminum but Randy Holmes Farley (from reef2reef) claims to have evidence that it does leach aluminum.
I have the same problem with aluminum, I use aquaforest salt a while ago I used kalkwaser but the problem is not the kalk, I already changed a briwel block and it is not the problem either, I don't know where to look anymore
I use Fritz and it’s great. I had a pump in my sump I forgot about it went bad and leaked iron and copper and other heavy metals. Keep doing my water changes and through Metasorb in my filter sock and it all got pulled in 5 days and left the metasorb in for 7 days. Highly recommend
First, buy a poly filter. This filter is a medical grade filter for metals. It will change colors if you have any metals in your system. And also filter them out. Poly Filter Poly-Bio-Marine for Fish Aquarium. You also need to send in a ICP test to make sure.
Guy, that tank is way too small for that cow fish. It's really cruel to keep him in there for your entertainment. They get really big . Find him a better home. Don't be a dick
Hey, thanks for the comment. I am not being a dick, the tank is a temporary home for the cow fish, eventually he will be moved to a much larger system. The reason that he is in there is because the other tanks house more aggressive eating fish like tangs If i put the that fish in there, then i will be a dick watching him get bully for the other fish.
Great video, can I ask what you feed your cowfisha and how often, just wanted the most up to date information as you have had it a while?

Nice looking tanks bro. I would consider checking pumps.. rust happens and that could be the issue..
